R34 gtr boost limiter?

Hey guys, so pretty much important myself a bayside blue 2000 r34 GTR, been super keen to get this car for the last couple months waiting, and today was the day to pick it up and drive it home, first 10 minutes car was a dream looked felt amazing just wanted I wanted, then... a problem started so  symptoms are this,

- start the car turbos/boost everything runs great, give it some gas and the turbos spool up to about 1 bar ( which I didn't think was stock boost settings but anyway ) 

then 5-10 minutes later I will go to just Accelerate normally and it will start to spool but when it gets to around .4 bar it will cut all the boost and the car will act like it has a speed limiter and not getting any air in, after that I had to keep driving the car in a higher gear to make sure it never gets into + boost because it would loss all power and not run, in 6th gear it will spool to around .2-3 bar at about 110 but as soon It gets over that bam cuts out again.

if I turn the car off and back on, problem immediately  goes away and car runs perfect again, then all of a sudden will start up again a couple of minutes later, watching the boost gage on MFD I can see it climbing into + boost then all of a sudden drops fully down ( with no wastegate noise or anything ) and the car staves for air.

any ideas of what it could be would be amazing, it's kinda put a downer on my excitement for getting this car, and really hurts when I still have a 1000km trip home with no boost

Bummer, but these old cars need TLC like any other. 

If it happens only when the car is warm it could be vac line that expands, could be bad sensor (I once had a bad CAS and an O2 that would only play up warm). AFMs with dry solder joints can also play up when warm if they are only just started to go. 

You need to pop the bonnet and get in there for a look. Dos a boost leak test, get a field services manual and multimeter and test some sensors. If you are not comfortable with those basic testing things take the car to a workshop that knows RBs. 

Factory ECU? You can buy a consult cable (I think like $100?) and download ECUTalk for free.

Seem to fix the problem, have driven about 600 more Kms and if hasn't gone into limp mode so that's always good, I pretty much unplug all the easy to get to cables blew them out and plugged the back in, someone I know also thinks that it could be because the car wasn't driven for 7-8 months that it could have build up somewhere and driving has fixed it 

 

cheers heaps for advice and help 

time to enjoy the car now

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
